Abstract
This study aims to investigate stereotype and effective cue presentation methods for burner-control relationship of four-stove range for Korean. A total of 381 subjects(male : 262, female : 119) were surveyed using questionnaire, in which eight gas range models drawn by 3-D Max 2010 were presented. The gas range models were labeled by signs(☆#${\triangle}{\square}$) to eliminate suggestive effect of sequential codes such as alphabets and numbers. The results showed that the stereotype was significantly affected by occupation(p < 0.10), but not by subjects' gender and age(p > 0.39). The stereotype of four-burner gas range for Korean was the same as that of Chinese, while the stereotype was different from that of American. The cues with rectangular-shaped arrangements identical or similar to those of burners were effective to relate burners to corresponding controls. The diamond-shaped cues and burner arrangements were not appropriate for representing burner-control relationship of four-stove gas range. These findings would be used as a basic guideline when designing four-burner gas range or similar equipments.
